Da PMP Daddy

Where have we been you ask?  Oh, we've been busy doing LOTS of things...as you'll see in the next few blog posts.  But, mostly we've been helping this guy become 'Da PMP Daddy'.  

Da PMP Daddy

 He's been studying his brains out for a PMP certification for work.  What does that stand for?  Good question, I actually just found out halfway through the study process.  He is now a certified "Project Management Professional" in case you are wondering.  And I was the lucky one that got to quiz him along the way....trust me the material didn't sound easy.  Every time I read the questions it sounded like I was speaking a foreign language.  


Technically, he started preparing for the test last year, but regular life got in the way and the studying got shelved for a bit.  Then, the start of the new year had him setting some study deadlines and goals and he finally booked the test date so there was no turning back.  Regular life still seemed to get in the way (as it always does with two cute kiddos 2 yrs and under) but luckily that's where we came in to help.  Poor Daddy has holed up at work from morning to night for the past week or so.  He'd decided it was easier to study at the office, away from the distractions (i.e. us ;-) and stayed late into the night just packing in the knowledge.  Our days got long with just me and two kiddos but we tried to busy ourselves and take lots of outings to break it up a bit.  I think Addison had the hardest time not having her Daddy around very often the past week.  She'd often just stop what she was doing during the day and say "I miss Daddy" with a sad frowny face.  Luckily, we got to call him and chat with him during those times.  Sometimes we even got to take him dinner or treats to work just to check in on him.

This past Friday was his big test day.  He woke up early, drove to Springfield, took it, and PASSED!  Woohoo!  He called to report to us right after and we were sooooo happy for him.  And he was soooooo happy he was done.  It's still slowly sinking in that he is now a certified PMP daddy and our lives get to return to normal once again.  We like normal lives around here that's for sure.  It's nice to have our Daddy back!  We are so proud of him and this latest accomplishment!
